Three celebrity mentors have agreed to star in Apple and Propagate's upcoming show, "Planet of the Apps."

Gwyneth Paltrow, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Will.i.am will "serve as mentors and advisors to the app developers selected for the series," Propagate announced on Thursday.

"Planet of the Apps" will be about "the world of apps and the talented people that drive its innovation," according to the show's website.

So think "Shark Tank" meets apps.

Since the show's "American Idol" format relies on developers applying to be featured, the show's creators have teamed up with Product Hunt to get the word out at events in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Austin. Submissions are currently being taken on the show's website.
